Wrenchman,

I have a hastings barrel on my Browning BPS slug gun and it came with the same warning. I bought that barrel about 8 years ago. I would have figured that either Remington would have fixed the problem with their ammo by now or the barrel manufacturers would have fixed the problem.

However, I will be using these rounds through an ER Shaw barrel that did not come with that warning. How can Remington be selling boxes and boxes of these loads if they could potentially kill people and they are ruining a bunch of barrels?

The Federal Barnes Expanders that I had been using are a lot like the Remington Copper Solids in that the Barnes Bullet is entirely copper.

ANYBODY OUT THERE USING THE REMINGTON COPPER SOLIDS, and if so, what has been your experience?

Good thing I only bought 3 boxes of the stuff and 4 boxes of the regular foster type slugs. Granted, the foster type slugs aren't quite as accurate as the sabots out of my gun, but they are good enough to kill deer while we are walking through the woods.
